Here's a reason the SOX record isn't better than it should be that I haven't seen posted. JD and Bogey just aren't driving in runs. Of course, there's a couple other reasons, but I thought this should be mentioned.
The SOX and Cards have a great history against each other. Since 1946 they've met in 4 World Series with each winning 2. Their games won/lost in the 4 WS are 14-10 in favor of the SOX.
A. Wainwright 5-4 2.84ERA vs M. Wacha 4-1 2.33ERA
Wainwright's been good for a long time.
Warning: Arenado is 6 for 13 with 3 dingers against Wacha.
Go SOX!
The best thing I saw today during the game was Sale's body language in the dugout. The SOX have a good chance of adding one of the best pitchers in MLB to their rotation in the very near future. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.
I don't like the rule that Bobby Dee has to begin his at bats with an 0-2 count. I know the powers that be want to speed up the game, but that's not fair.
"It's the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die.
The nation will always welcome hitters, as time goes by."
Don't play it again, Sam.
Exactly. I don't believe Cordero has embarrassed himself playing 1st base, in fact, like last night, he's made some damn nice plays there. I also believe that Ref and JBJ should platoon in RF, at least until Ref proves he can't play there effectively.
